VIDEO: Tiger Woods First One-on-One Interviews
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Sports, Videos,
Operation “Repair Tiger’s Image” just entered its next phase.
Nearly a month after addressing the public for the very first time, Tiger Woods granted his first one-on-one interviews. Tonight, both ESPN’s Tom Rinaldi and the Golf Channel’s Kelly Tilghman aired their exclusive chats with the embattled golfer.
During both interviews, Woods, who intends to make his comeback during next month’s Masters golf tournament, made references to his 45-day stint in rehab. Although he declined to specify what he was receiving treatment for, he did say that he was forced to take a “brutal” look at himself. Asked why he never sought help earlier, Woods stated: “Well, I didn’t know I was that bad. I didn’t know that I was that bad.” (Uh, how many women do you have to sleep with before it’s considered “bad”?)

VIDEO: Tiger Woods Addresses Public for First Time Since Crash
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Sports,
Missed the (scripted) apology heard around the country today? Well, here’s your chance to watch all 13.5 minutes of it.
During Tiger Woods’ highly-controlled speech, the golfer addressed a number of topics. No - His wife, Elin Nordegren, did not hit him on in the evening of Nov. 27, nor has she ever struck him. Yes - He does plan return to play golf some day, he just doesn’t “know when that day will be.” No - Woods didn’t think “normal rules” applied to him; he thought money and fame “entitled” him. Yes - Tiger has already been in rehab for 45 days and, starting tomorrow, will go back for more treatment and more therapy.
After watching the video, let us know what you think. Did his rehearsed statement come a little too late? Do you applaud him for making a step in the right direction? Or would you prefer to see this all go away so you could get back to watching golf?
(For more, you can read a full transcript as provided by the New York Times after the jump.)

Nick Bollea Realizes Jail is Hard
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Legal Issues,
After serving just a mere few hours of his 8-month jail sentence, Nick Bollea (a.k.a. Nick Hogan) realized that incarceration was not entirely what he had expected. Apparently Hulk Hogan‘s son didn’t think felony reckless driving was that serious a matter.
In this just released transcript, we learn how a tearful Nick dealt with his first day in the clink:
Nick Bollea: “Had I known this, I would have rather gone to trial or I would rather, you know, appeal the case or something. I can’t deal with this for eight months. It’s (Bollea’s cell) like the size of my bathroom.”
Linda Bollea (Linda Hogan): “Oh!”
Nick: “No windows or nothing. Just one little top bed thing.”
Linda: “Oh my God!”
Nick: “All you do is sit there and think, and there’s nothing to think about.”
